Dr. Michael Oon bridges the gap between tradition and technology by demystifying Feng Shui—an age-old Chinese practice often misunderstood as superstition. Drawing from years of scientific training and global experience, he unveils a rational, evidence-based approach to Feng Shui, inviting us to see our environments not just as spaces we live in, but as systems that shape our energy, health, and success. Dr. Michael Oon is a unique blend of science and Chinese traditional practices, seamlessly bridging his early career as a forensic scientist with his expertise in traditional Feng Shui. With a PhD in Biochemistry and two decades of experience at New Scotland Yard, Dr. Oon excelled in forensic science by applying empirical observation and evidence-based methods. His transition to traditional Feng Shui was guided by a search for deeper understanding, leading him to train under a 14th-generation master who practises traditional Feng Shui. Dr. Oon now applies the scientific rigor from his forensic background to traditional Feng Shui, revealing its empirical roots and offering fresh insights into its modern applications.

- 13:08Microagressions Under a Microscope | Elisha Dalmeida | TEDxJenks YouthMy Ted Talk this year will be on micro aggressions, which can be defined as “subtle discrimination.” I chose this topic because often times we fail to realize that some of the things we say or do can be harmful or micro-aggressive, so that’s what I want to educate on! After high school, I’ll be attending Lafayette College to major in political science! Hello! My name is Elisha Dalmeida and I’m currently a senior at Jenks High School!
